- We are very happy to announce that DANTE e.V. and TUG have
  agreed on a joint membership plan, similar to the long-existing
  UKTUG/TUG and NTG/TUG joint memberships.  Information will be
  available on the DANTE web site at http://www.dante.de/dante/antrag/,
  and the TUG web site at http://tug.org/join.html.
  
  Special thanks to Klaus Hoeppner, TUG board member and the new DANTE
  president, for making this happen.  Thanks also to Volker Schaa, past
  DANTE president and current vice-president, and all the DANTE
  membership for supporting the plan.  We hope it will be mutually
  beneficial.


As always, please don't hesitate to contact us (tug-news at tug.org) with
questions, suggestions, or information.

Best wishes,
Karl Berry (President) on behalf of the TUG Board
